Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
Theoretical lectures will be presented, promoting the involvement and participation of all students by developing their thinking skills and stimulating their critical thinking. Materials will be available in the Moodle platform for consultation of the taught contents. Some guided visits are expected, in the time available for lessons with the PL typology, to enhance the consolidation of the subjects taught. The assessment consists of 2 tests (50% each) OR Final exam (100%).
